Crazy Monkey Tamarindo

Experience

Discover the Ultimate Nightlife Journey at Crazy Monkey Tamarindo

Crazy Monkey

Crazy Monkey has been woven into Tamarindo's nightlife for more than two decades. What began as a small bar overlooking the ocean became a landmark for travelers and locals alike.

Under new ownership, we've reimagined the experience while honoring the soul of the original. The space is now part of Maravida Hotel, a boutique hideaway perched above the beach. Together, they offer a seamless blend of tropical ease and modern energy.

Here you'll find music, food, and sunsets that define Tamarindo — and nights that you'll never forget.

Restaurant

Our restaurant pairs coastal flavors with a touch of international style.

Come for brunch, lunch, or dinner and enjoy fresh seafood and bright classic plates. Each dish is best enjoyed with a cold drink and the ocean breeze.

Whether you're stopping in after the beach or planning a relaxed dinner, our kitchen is all about easy sophistication and local ingredients. Open daily from 12pm to 8pm.

Pool / Wet Bar

Our poolside wet bar is the perfect place to relax with a drink in hand. Slide into the water and enjoy service without leaving your seat at the swim-up bar.

We have upgraded the bar to focus on quality and creativity. Our bartenders craft signature cocktails inspired by Costa Rica, using fresh tropical ingredients and local spirits. Classic favorites are always on the menu, mixed with precision and attention to detail.

Whether you want something bright and refreshing after a swim or a crafted cocktail as the sun sets, the pool bar offers a relaxed setting with thoughtful drinks and friendly service.

Sunset Views

Few places in town can match our view of the Pacific. From the terrace or the pool deck, watch the sky explode into color as the sun dips below the horizon. Arrive early, order a cocktail, and settle in — sunset at Crazy Monkey is a Tamarindo ritual.
